According to the Charleston Post & Courier, Jennifer Murray is asking a judge to issue a restraining order that will keep Bill Murray away from her home. She’s also asked the court to determine if the couple’s $7 million pre-nup is valid — according to the agreement, Jennifer gets the big pay out if they divorce.

TMZ reports,

According to court docs, Jennifer and the couple’s four children moved out of the family home in 2006 because of what she says was her husband’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”

The docs also say the star “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her’ ” and that this happened more than once during their marriage.

The complaint, which doesn’t specify instances of Murray’s alleged marijuana or alcohol use, alleges he would often leave without telling his wife and says he “travels overseas where he engages in public and private altercations and sexual liaisons.”

Wow! I would have never guessed Bill Murray to be a wife beater. I wonder if he was thinking about smacking her upside the head with that trophy?
